I have good news for you!
Life giving news for you.
It can make you new
Transforming you through and through.
Please take some time and listen to this rhyme
and hear what my Lord has to say to you.
Come children and listen to the story
The story of God the King of Glory.
From before the beginning of time,
Father, Son, Spirit existed in perfect rhyme.
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made
And the foundations of the earth He laid
The starry host came by the breath of his mouth
He created the north and the south
The heavens are the works of His hands
His hands formed the dry land
He clothed the grass by bringing flowers to bloom
He established the sun and the moon
His is the night and day
By His power the mountains were made
He put an expanse between the waters and there was sky
He then made birds and let them fly
He opened up springs and streams
And made springs pour water into the ravines
He made summer, winter, spring and fall
He caused grass, trees and plants to grow big and tall
Everything you see He made it all.
His love was so great he couldn't help but create
People who could love and relate and in turn go and create.
So in beginning He made man everything fit in His perfect plan.
We were a Holy race in union with God Himself
Beautiful temples in which He dwelt
And God the living God walked among us
And lived with us.
He was our God and we were His people
All our desires, wants and needs He provided from His hands
The condition was that we just follow His good and perfect commands
But we disobeyed and ate the forbidden fruit and so sin started to take root. We went against His commands and from that moment darkness entered the land. We rebelled against the light and decided to do what was right in our own sight.
We shut our ears from the Holy God
Tuned out His voice, turning up our I-pods
Unquenchable desires started to burn with in
Tried to fill the void with devastating sins.
Uncontrollable lusts we yearn for more
But we don't even know what we're living for
Destroying the Earth the gift that God gave
Fighting for land sending each other to graves
Broken, dysfunctional relationships
Gossip and slander filling our lips
Logging on to facebook trying to have the best looks
The truth is we're all hooked
War torn countries living in fear
But the rest of world doesn't really care
Children starving struggling to live
While the rich sit back unwilling to give
Materialism running rampant in our society
Little kids armed with guns, an impropriety
Young girls taken sold for sex
While all we do is sit back and except
Injustice plaguing our world everyday
Humanity thrown in disarray
Creation screams in pain
Yet we continue to let evil reign
Divorce rates are rising
Morals more compromising
Corrupt advertising
The way we are living is terrorizing,
Demonizing
The essence of who we are
We have strayed so far....
Instead worshipping the creator of the earth we digressed and started to worship created things on earth. We have fallen short of the glory of God and now we chase after pseudes
So now we are sinful from the day we are born
Everything about us horribly deformed
No one is righteous not even one
Everybody just wants to have their own fun.
We have all turned away to follow corrupt and evil ways.
Sin is a terrible disease its plaguing the masses and it DECEIVES.
Thinking that you can do as you please but
You see the desires that you want to do isn't what’s good for you.
Instead its what causes you to have to go through the pain and suffering that you do
And no matter how hard you try you can’t stop doing whats wrong
And you see God is Holy He can`t stand to have what is evil in His sight
So He has to punish us and do what is right.
Because of our sins we have to get paid
And death is the minimum wage
That’s why everything is fading degrading
Nothing on this earth lasts everything is going to pass very very fast and whats now will soon be past. The presence of God the Eternal Life left long ago because of our wrongs we reaped what we sowed. Destined to be trapped in our sins forever and after death be judged and be condemned to eternal fire.
Now some of you might be saying hey that doesn`t seem right. I think deep inside my heart I have some light. I can still do some right.
But according to this book, God`s standards are off the hook
Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?
Who may stand in His Holy Presence?
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right
Who has clean hands and pure heart
And speaks the truth from his heart
who does not slander with his tongue
and does no evil to his neighbour,
nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
but who honours those who fear the LORD;
who swears to his own hurt and does not change; who does not put out his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent.
if you have a grudge that just won't budge, unforgiveness deep inside your soul.
anger that you just can't control, fits of rage that throw you in a frenzy
Silent jealousy or bitter envy. You’re a murderer at heart. You may as well have killed them from the start. Taken a gun and BAM BAM BAM shot them in the head because really they're as good as dead
Looking at pornography is equal to adultery, masturbation is the same as fornication. To God it all screams condemnation. Cuz its not just about what you do on the outside. Its about the inside, in your heart soul and mind. Thats more than enough have to have crossed the line. To have broken God's design. But don't hate me it’s how this book defines. Matthew 5 will back up these lines.
But God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God came down to earth in the person of Jesus Christ. He was the only one who ever lived a righteous life and then made Himself a perfect sacrifice. That we might be made right in God`s sight.
Now let me give a small exposition of who Christ was in His high position before He came down and lowered Himself to the human condition
Righteousness goes before Him and prepares the way for His steps.
Smoke rises from His nostrils
Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side
He rides on the cherubs coming swiftly on the wings of the wind
All in His temple cry glory
The mountains melt like wax before the Lord before the Lord of all the earth
He thunders in the heavens
His lightning lights up the world and all tremble
Around Him is a mighty tempest
All in His temple cry glory
The Most High utters His voice hailstones and coals of fire.
The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth and strips the forest bare
The voice of the Lord shakes the desert of Kadesh
He is robed in majesty
Armed with strength
All in His temple cry glory
He wraps Himself in light as with a garment
Clouds and thick darkness surround Him
He makes his messengers winds
His ministers a flaming fire
All in His temple cry glory
The Lord reigns forever
The Lord sits enthroned as King forever
The Most High humbled Himself from the high throne and made Himself know to His people. He came down to human form and from us His people endured scorn. He was torture, crucified on the cross and died. When He didn`t deserve to die. For you and I and after three days came back to life victorious over sin and death.
Let me just reemphasize. You gotta believe in this one things without compromise. Christ gave His life for your life. He died when you should`ve died.
So tonight if sin has you owned.
and Christ isn't on your throne
And on the outside you live a pretty good life
but on the inside your soul is full of strife.
As an ambassador of Christ
I have good news for you!
Life giving news for you.
It can make you new
Transforming you through and through.
Please take some time and listen to this rhyme
and hear what my Lord has to say to you.
God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us. Bore within Himself
all our ugliness, all the laws that we have transgressed that so that we might become His righteousness.
We were once enemies of God but now we're reconciled through the cross.
God's bringing us back to Himself in Christ making what was wrong right.
Not counting our sin against us instead pouring His grace and love to save us to heal us to free us.
The Lord is kind and compassion slow to anger abounding in Love
He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities
The Lord will not always accuse nor will He harbour His anger forever
Redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion
Satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles
As far as the east is from the west so far has He removed our transgressions from us
As high as the heavens are above the earth so great is His love for those who fear Him
As a father has compassion on His children so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.
Forgives our sins and heals our diseases.
Removes burdens from our shoulders
Bestows favour and honour no good thing does He withhold
He restores our souls and leads us on the paths of righteousness for His name sake
Weeping may remain for a night but rejoicing comes in the morning
He turns our wailing into dancing and clothes us with joy
Draws us up from the pit of destruction out of the miry bog
Sets our feet upon the rock and makes our step secure
He puts a new song in our mouths a song of praise to God
He covers you in His feathers
Under His wings you find refuge
The Lord is a shield around us
He answers our cries
The Lord is our rock, fortress and deliverer
The Lord is our stronghold
Arms us with strength and makes our way perfect
He enables us to stand on the heights
He is a father to the fatherless a defender of widows
He sets the lonely in families
Leads forth prisoners with singing
Those who trust in Him will never be put to shame
He will defend the afflicted and save the children of the needy
He upholds us in His right hand
And is our portion in the land of the living
His steadfast love extends to the heavens His faithfulness to the skies forever and ever
As an ambassador of Christ I implore you on His behalf turn from your evil ways and come back! Be reconciled through Christ and gain eternal life.
Don't receive God's grace in vain! Do not reject His holy name.
For He says:
In the time of my favour I heard you
and in the day of salvation I helped you
Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is Here
Repent for the time is almost here.
He who has ears let Him hear
Who will humble himself and approach the altar of the Lord?
Who will wash His heart with the precious blood of the Lord?
Repentance is the only way you can't get too Christ through any other gate.
Now there are several issues that need to be addressed concerning this gospel of truth and living it out in holiness
Because the hour of our salvation is closer than when we first confessed
So I got to get this off my chest, wont be at rest until we learn to live in Christ righteousness
Be careful the yeast of the Pharisees
Cuz that not going to set you free and let you truly see
its not about morality.
or these many many many formalities.
Its not by works that you are saved
but only by admitting your totally depraved
and then turning from your wicked ways
Don’t think your good cuz you went on a mission trip
Cuz many people go because they think its hip
And eventually they slip and realize that they weren’t legit but a rip.
Never read Isaiah 64:6 our righteous acts are like rags.
I went on many missions trips Mexico, Panama doing good deeds thinking I was planting seed but I never took heed to my own spiritual needs
I was on the worship team, the drama team the av team
I was on all the TC teams, everything in your dream team.
But I wasn’t saved I didn’t really know the way.
Every day I would pray in Jesus name but nothing in my life ever changed.
Inside my heart was still in chains and sin still had reign. Except it was hidden very well I was what Jesus calls a 2 fold son of hell. I had proper reactions and actions to everything in church you wouldn’t be able to tell I was a false convert.
By the fruit you will know the tree
By the fruit it will be plain for all to see
Spotting them is easy as ABC Luke 6:43
Love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness self control.
When they speak these traits are included in their speech
Whatever they do these things naturally come through
Because the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart
If you call yourself a Christian yet your lifestyle screams sins.
Its you like you never knew Him. You live just like the heathen. How can you live in those ways anymore? Or do you not really understand what Christ died for? You died to your transgression crucified with Christ. And now your supposed to live for Christ. If you call yourself a Holy temple, a vessel of God
than please please please don't live like a fraud or it’s really really really hard to say that you truly know God.
stop flirting with the things of this world
Because it makes God wanna hurl
you out of His mouth cuz you have no place in His house
Come out from them and be separate says the Lord
Touch no unclean thing and I will be Yours
For we are a temple of the mighty Lord
You say I believe but you’re still not set free you’re as blind a Pharisee
cuz the devil masquerades himself as an angel of light. But in reality he's a fright he's so ugly you want him out of your sight
Those who love the Lord hate evil and do what is right
cuz Love hates what is evil and clings to what is right
and love comes from God who is the true light
Don’t listen to the lies ringing your head telling you its ok to go ahead and do what the worlds says cuz if you do your just as good as dead.
What if you had no more excuses? You know how you say turning from sin is a process when the truth is you just want an excuse to take you own time. So you throw out nobody’s perfect to cover the guilt on your mind or how about this one won’t be holy until we enter glory but then who’s hell for?
And you may feel like sin is warring within but Christ gave us victory not to give in cuz can’t enter heaven and not reflect Him so what if you had no more excuses
Because for a Christian they just don’t make sense like knowing he’s coming back for a bride without spot but you think you can climb over the fence
But its not true so what if there was nothing stopping you?
Like your told not to drink or smoke but you got an excuse like technically the bible doesn’t specifically say not to show me the exact scripture and I’ll consider
Matter of fact show me a sign I mean Jesus turned water into wine and God created weed the bible says I give you every tree so
Or you’re told not to listen to worldly music when and you say well I’m not listening to the lyrics. But as you listen it makes your lust grow before you were cool now you’re sensual
Dress provocatively so you grab the compliments of men when truthfully you’re lacking Christ convictions He’s doesn’t have your whole heart because your seeking male attention
Don’t you see these excuse causes a dissension between you and the father and we love holding on to these excuses that why we insist to pass up all these scriptures that teaches us to be righteous and find that one we can bend, pervert and twist
but what if all our excuses were gone? What if there was no excuse keeping you in sin? Stopping you from holiness from letting Christ in. What if there was no more excuses but all of us being to throw away these clichés like were all gonna sin
What if there was no more excuse like serving God is hard cuz your trust in yourself rather than the word of God common you know I’m pulling your card admit it don’t use the very bible that say we need to be holy and then not get with it. When He was bruised for it the King of glory was whipped in order that the veil be ripped giving direct access to Christ He is our holiness.
cuz the truth is if you got excuses you gotta beware be the fruit is He won’t give us temptation beyond what we can bear
So don’t use the scriptures to hold on to sin common don’t go there. Like romans 3:23 we’ve all sin and fallen short of His glory but look at verse 24 its a compound it shows that we’ve been set free you gotta read some more.
It says we’ve been justified by grace A stunning transaction has taken place. Outside the court the guilt of sinners pardon by faith. You see the Sons death waved the consequences of sins.In a unique sacrifice of atonement which truly washes us from within.
Wouldn’t your life be different if you got hit by a bus? Or if an elephant sat on your neck? Yeah I know that sounds ridiculous. But so does a life that doesn’t bother to honour the heart father and ignore the Son that got beat harder than Chris Brown bother Rihanna. Cuz I’m going be honest some us here would fight tooth and nail to defend your favourite secular artist and then justify their own godless lifestyle saying im in the process cuz if we could really imagine the pain felt from the lashes and stripes on the back of our Christ than why does it seem for this Christ the passion has died? We’re cracked and we’re dried tired and lacking His light due to being stuck in the rut trapped in our slime and caught in the vacuumed of our pornographic mind instead over the lamb slain
We remorse more over Patrick Swayze and Michael Jackson that died and entertained more by how insane Kanye was at the VMA than we are in awe over a God who emanates glory and majesty from His throne and in hands holds the sands of time
It seems that something isn’t quite right like the church needs a reintroduction to the Christ. Cuz He’s been distorted by the people and it just ain’t right. So I pray, I pray that the Holy Spirit convicts us day and night till we all living whole heartedly for the praise of Christ.
Cuz man we quick too quick to talk about social justice, missions and feeding the poor but how about the injustice of how we’re treating the Lord?
See these things go hand in hand with each other. So when we walk hand in hand with Jesus lets not be walking as adulterous lovers cuz He’s jealous. So what’s your main focus? If we could imagine the pain felt from the lashes and stripes we would gladly lay our bodies on the altar as a sacrifice of love.
Cuz see a doctor taps our knee cap to test our reflexes. So when the loving kindness of God impacts and cracks open our soul we shall respond with repentance walking with deep reverence.
Test yourself are you in Christ?
Are you on the road to eternal life?
Because narrow is the way that leads to life and the Broadway seem soo right.
everything's on the hush hush the down low
cuz no one really wants to be exposed.
except they don’t know that the show can't go on
you can’t continue to do wrong
cuz when Christ comes again what you hide will be brought to light
what you’ve done and who you are is already in His sight.
Is your heart for Christ ask yourself tonight who is the god of your life?
The Holy Spirit is here father and Son present so if you hear His message today with an open heart He draws near to hear our confessions.
